In a closely contested NHL game, Stefan Noesen played a pivotal role in securing a win for the Carolina Hurricanes against the Minnesota Wild, with the game ending in a 3-2 scoreline. Noesen, known for his net-front presence, scored the decisive goal with 8:58 left in regulation, marking the Hurricanes' first lead of the night. The goal, described as a power play goal, came moments after the power play had expired and was notably deflected off Noesen's face, technically his visor, into the net after Jack Drury's shot. This goal capitalized on a penalty against the Wild, which had been a point of contention due to a controversial call by Syvret. Throughout the game, the Hurricanes managed to contain the Wild's top line, limiting them to a combined total of 9 shots. The game also featured a strong defensive performance from the Hurricanes, including a successful penalty kill at the start of the third period with goalie Kochetkov making crucial saves.
Stefan Noesen scored with his face (technically his visor)
Net. Front. Presence! Noesen gives the #Canes their first lead as it’s now 3-2 Carolina! #CauseChaos https://t.co/GrQVh0ALNu

Teuvo made a really good play to get that to the net where Drury and Noesen make their living as the PP expired. Fun stuff
Where did that hit Noesen? Elbow? Armpit? Wrist? Power play goal! 3-2
Carolina takes a 3-2 lead at the end of the power play. Jack Drury's shot deflected off Noesen's face and in. So Carolina takes advantage of the bad call by Syvret
Just as the #mnwild penalty expired, Stefan Nosen crashes the net for a backdoor rebound and Carolina has its first lead of the night, 3-2, with 8:58 to play in regulation.
The #Canes cash in! It's Stefan Noesen with 8:58 to go in regulation!
A combined 9 shots for the #mnwild top line which the Canes have done a tremendous job containing this period.
The #Canes start the third period with a successful penalty kill, but there were two close calls. After a tip got by him and rang iron, Kochetkov kept out this bid from Marco Rossi to keep us tied. https://t.co/oy5Xyny0Xq
